Occasional surges of monsoonal moisture resulted in periods of thunderstorms across western Colorado during the month of July, mainly during the second half of the month. However, typical hot conditions persisted for much of the month and the rainfall that did occur had little impact on the drought conditions across the area. Northwest Colorado remained in moderate to severe drought conditions. Although the remainder of western Colorado was no longer categorized as being in a drought, multiple years of below normal precipitation continued to cause water supply concerns. For a continuation on this drought situation please see the August 2005 Storm Data publication.
